PC Processors

Memtest86+ with Ryzen3 2200G is freezing in SMP mode. Press F2 to enter the SMP mode in Memtest86+ when it starts. You can use an Ubuntu 18.04 install stick to start the memory test. I have two processors (one replaced by AMD) that behave the same. Has Memtest86+ a bug or can anybody confirm this freezing? I replaced the motherboard twice (!!!) the memory several times in many combinations (!!!) and also the PSU. And yes, I also tried an external graphic card. Memtest86+ stops at 20 or 21 percent always.

I would be happy if anybody can confirm this behavior.

Best regards,

Roger

Memtest86+ has not been updated in 5 years and does not support Ryzen, among other new processors. Use Memtest86, it's free now.

A very good point. I run now Memtest86 and until now it looks very good. The Ryzen 7 1700 didn't freeze that's why I thought it could be a CPU problem.

I had have the same issue. Memtest86+ 5.01 hung on a Ryzen 3 3200G with 2x8GB GSkill RAM.

But after 3 tests my CPU is completely dead. BIOS POST led indicated missing CPU. 

Is it possible that it overheated?

After resetting the CMOS completely the CPU came back to life. This seems to be a common thing. Using the newest memtest86, instead of very old one included in Ubuntu boot image, tested all my RAM without errors and without hanging up, nor killing the CPU.
